Amar Mehraj 29 was one of four men who gang raped a 17 year old girl while she was unconscious back in 2009.
He attempted to return to the UK however faced a nasty shock when police were waiting for his arrival at Birmingham airport.
Officers claim that Mehraj has now been jailed for 9 years and 9 months after admitting his involvement in the attack which took place in Oldbury, West Midlands. Three other men had already been jailed and convicted of rape back in 2010.
The girl was taken to an address in Oldbury where she was piled with drugs and alcohol until she passed out.
While she was passed out she was raped by Mehraj and three other men. Once she had escaped from the house she called the police.
Police gathered DNA evidence connected to a number of men which included Mehraj However he escaped to Pakistan.
Detective Con Mark Timmins of West Midlands Police said: “This was a sickening crime against a vulnerable young girl, who was plied with alcohol and drugs before being sexually abused.
“Protecting young people from harm is a priority for West Midlands Police and partner agencies and we take reports of sexual offences extremely seriously.
This case just goes to show that we will never give up on bringing offenders to justice.
“Thankfully, justice has finally caught up with Mehraj.”
